Ecopetrol to sell off two thermal energy generators

Ecopetrol is to sell off two thermal energy generators in Ocoa and Gualanday, with individual capacities of between 34 and 52 MW. Each plant is estimated to be worth $ 10 mm. They operated between 1992 and 1999 but are merely being maintained.
The sale should go through before the end of October 2001. possibly to Brazilian or Californian interests. Electricity generation stands outside Ecopetrol's core strategy.
